The Virtue of Working Hard

SUMMARY: It is better to work and earn money than to beg for it.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "It is better for anyone of you to carry a bundle of wood on his back and sell it than to beg of someone whether he gives him or refuses". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏لأن يحتطب أحدكم حزمة على ظهره، خير له من أن يسأل أحداً فيعطيه أو يمنعه‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us the importance of working hard and earning money through honest means. It is better to put in effort and work hard than to rely on others for help. This hadith encourages us to be productive members of society by engaging in meaningful activities that will benefit ourselves as well as those around us. We should strive towards self-sufficiency rather than relying on others for our needs. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us the virtue of humility; we should not feel ashamed or embarrassed if we have to do manual labor or take up a job that may not be considered prestigious by society’s standards. Instead, we should focus on doing our best and being proud of our accomplishments no matter how small they may seem.
